We could wait until ISIS becomes more powerful. Ignore the warnings and do nothing because it's too messy. Kind of what Bush, Junior and Condoleeza Rice did.

Or we could do something to stop ISIS' murderous rampage.

I'm fine with Option #2. It's not at all the same thing as invading a sovereign country for no reason at all.
